Blackjack
is really very simple in its aim: beat the dealer,
by getting a hand that is closer in value, but not
exceeding 21.

Remember
that in blackjack
each person is playing against the dealer, so there's
no need to analyze the other players, and no need
to be secretive about your hand.

To
get started, you lay your bet. The cards will then
be dealt; two to each player, sometimes face up, sometimes
face down, depending on the type of game your playing.
Following the deal each player is given the choice
of if he wants another card, or wants to stick with
what he's got.

The
best possible result is a blackjack or natural, which
is 21 from your first 2 cards with a payout of 3:2
usually paid immediately. Once the players have completed
their hands the dealer will complete his hand; anyone
who beat him will get their payout, and everyone who
lost to him will loose their bet.

The
only thing your missing is, the value of the cards,
and that's no harder than the rest of the game. The
number cards are all what they say they are, the picture
cards all have a value of 10, the ace can be either
an 11 or a 1 and hands containing an ace are known
as "soft" precisely because of this flexibility.

Last
but not least, the suits have no values. Simple as
that! Well Just a few exception - The European No
Hole Card rule has the dealer receive only one card
at the outset, receiving the second only once the
players have finished their hands; most likely an
online
casino will offer the "Dealer stand on all 17s",
but some casinos will have a "Dealer hits soft 17"
rule. That's it – blackjack in under 5 minutes!

So
all you have to do now is start to play blackjack now you have the
rules. Good luck at the tables!
